Winner of the Grand Prize at the 2009 Montreal Human Rights Film
Festival‘Child Miners’ (2008) is a documentary about the daily
troubles of two child miners, Jorge and Alex, who make one dollar a day working in the crumbling Bolivian mine of Lllallagua.
‘President Evo’ (2009) is co-narrated by the filmmaker and Evo Morales. It tells the story of how Bolivia’s first indigenous President managed to re-write the Constitution, re-distribute the land among poor peasants and nationalise the gas industry, as these events were actually unfolding.
